- 1954, Radu Tudoran, “Plutașul năzdrăvan”, in Toate pînzele sus!, 3rd edition, published :
- Un soi de conifer, numit pitchpine, care crește prin America de Nord, e mult căutat de meșterii corăbieri; fiind tare îmbibat cu rășină, apa nu se lipește de el, și așa scîndură nici nu joacă, nici nu putrezește, viața ei socotindu-se ca și fără sfîrșit. Din păcate, depărtarea de unde e adus face să-i crească prețul prea mult. Să nu mai vorbim de mahagoni, cunoscut la noi sub numele de mahon, lemn exotic, cu mari însușiri, folosit la iahturi și bărci de lux, dar care, pe lîngă pitchpine e încă mai scump.
